"As you think back when the program is finished, it may occur to you what a well designed program this is. It moves from piece to piece and to its finale with a sense of what best suits the ear. The balance alternates between various instrumentations, and the listener finds respite from one timbre or texture. So perhaps in the same way that many of us oboists and bassoonists feel a part of a great lineage because we may have studied with pupils of great teachers...there is great lineage of playing documented on this recording. And just listening to this music, we can perhaps feel touched, inspired, and educated by Bernard Garfield."-American Record Guide
